'P** . penser of justice ini his dealings with bis feleuters with this number on the Fourth Vol_ “ume. In connection with the announcement _ of this event we hare sword to say. The degree. Garrett Davis means to be's disthe extremities of the country. Thus when a Senator is up on a charge of being an enemy to his country and the question is on his expulsion, Garrett Davis takes oceasiah, not ‘because we want more of the wherewith to build up a daily paper that shall be worthy -; Of the place and the times. We are willing =—to work for small wages and all we make on the Trawscaiwr.

But we shall endeavor to give~every patron the _ &morth of his money. The business of the . ~—eonceri thus far shows that our efforts to weet the wants of the community have not been in vain, With many thanks.to the publie for the favors thus far extended us, we ask a éontinuance of the-same_only #0 long as. we. Eze Tae OLp Srory yeT.—The game has Jong been. played by Southern representa. tives of -oiarging in Congress the agitation of the slavery question upon northern members, ~ did Taiiting the svuthern people believe the gharge to be true. Yet, if any one will take the touble to look over the speeches that ave been made in Congress any session dur~~ jug the liat thirty years, it will be found that ~ where one northern member has uttered a word on the subject of slavery, southern embers have uttered sentences. In truth it has been the gr ext stock in trade of soutbOrn: representatives. Occasionally an irrepressible slavery destructionist will be seen to have opened the controversy, but in a large 3 ghajovity of instances, of late years particuJarly, the theme hae been introduced without provocation by southern members themelves; and the reply provoked from northern members. hes beon afterwards quoun Ovidence 0: intermeddling hostility on the part of the nerh te southern instituThe northern people are opposéd to slavery, ibis true. But they have always recog_ tlaed the institution as 4 local one for which ey were not responsible and were inhibited where it exists. So stood the overwhelming masses Of the northern peeple down to the ‘a tian obtained @ seat in Congress who radiaally differed with his compeers in sentiment on the dlavery question; but his election was owing to local canses or the Congressional district system and to the unrestrained liberty of mind in the uorthern States, and should not have been taken 29 an index of northern sentiment at all, but the South should have been satisfied with the conservatism of the mastes ae represented on the floors of Congress, and ought to have had the wisdow to forbear the discussion of a subject, which least of all will stand the analysis of any well regulated mind. Since, however, the seceasion doctrine waa broa¢hed by Calhoun, the minda of southern demagogues and destructionists have been set upon a separate government, where» in they imagined. they could figure to great {+ gdivantage,as statesmen and. privileged . ~~ darigtoorate, “and the pretext of northerners ; lige Urged on separation. Gen. . _ predicted the actual development ‘of the Southern Confederacy scheme long before it reached its present state of the case in pomt, but to rus offin a canna @ Horace Greeley and others is the frame work and substance. outer that the language of Davis would be read “witli delight by the rébels, ond that none but confederate camps. Containing much that is corroborative of southern °complaints against the north, the speech of Davis will be read with avidity by the rebels and they will be strengthened thereby in the opinion that their cause ie just. ¢ When the question comes up in Congress whether the policy of the Government is, to attempt to preserve the Union with slavery or without, the proper time will arrive for Mr. Davis or any other Senator to give his reasons, without passion or abuse, why one course should be pursued in preference to and revive old and stale charges ata time when not appropriate, looks after the old style, and creates the very suspicion that Mr. Davis appears to be anxious to allay, that this slavery question ean never be set~ . tled except by an extermination of the institution itself, for even-¢o fair a man as Garrett Davis will not let it alone, ata most critical time and at an inopportune moment, : A Taeasere.—Cualeb Lyon, recently, in overhauling matters at the Arlington House, Virginia, found a set of the Martha Was : ington china, presented to Mra. Washington by Geo. Lafayette and-his brother French of-. ficers. This willbe looked upon by antiquarians ag a priceless treasure. "Fits Washington correspondent of the Sati Franciaco Bulletin says that the Treasury Department has stopped payment of a claim . of Calhoun Benham tor $10,000, for services alleged to have been rendered the Government at San Francisco, Califurnia. _ TELEGRAPHIL.—The Government has ta~ ken possession of the telegraphic lines, tho effect of which will be to give us more re. liable information hereafter, though not so. mucll in bulk, perhaps. Rise oF WaTER.—According to the Union the American river ruse Tuesday night and Wednesday three or four feet, sweeping away a large share of the volunteer work at Rabel's Tannery. A large portion of the town north of J, and east of Etghth street, and south of L street was flooded. The Sacramento rose eight feet. Favors.—We are indebted to U. S. Senator J. H. Lane for favors. Alse to Col. Collins, who has one of the soundest heads in the Assembly of Calitornia. TAR AND FeatTuers.—A. young native Californian, named Luis Peralta, was lately taken from a billiard room in Los Angeles, and rigged vut in a coat of tur andfeathers. The fellow had slandered a young lady who had rejected his addresses. WoRsSE THAN “Snoppy.“—A correspondent from Hilton Head gives the follow ing negro idea of bomb shells: The balls and shells of the Wabash with her 64 guns and mortars, and our other war vesaels, made aad havee of the forts as well as of the deluded men who defended them,esag ut the one here. Even the slaves ave with emphasis said: “The Yankee balls . 80-Fetten‘bust an'fty “bout so dat de pieces kill many our peer massas !” Tue City and County of Sacramento have. ‘commenced an action against the Sacramento Valley Railroad Compauy, asking an inunction to prohibit their running cars Upon weet of Sixth commenced upon the alle: obligations on the part of corporation have not been complied with, and the plaintiff’ pray that the injunetion may be perpetual.

He says, if the swamp lands around Sacramento are to be wr ae they now are as compensating the defenge of Sacramento city by means of levees if an easy miatter, and adds: ‘meet _y co beatoff the destructive agencies of future floods, other_partieswill be engaged (by leveeing out, or what's ealled reclaiming swam ia zealously in caus. ing the exterior waters to assume a higher level than they have doue heretofore, and if carried on to the extent proposed, namely, of reclaiming five millions of acres, must eventually -cause such a state of things that the. Llevees to be erected in’ érder to effeetually restrain the water during the heavy floods, will have to be constructed so elevated and of such great breadth in consequence of such elevation, ag to be beyond the bounds of practicability, having a due’ regard for the coat of cxpital and labor required. — While the swamps are open as they now ex~ ist, and being used as a species of compensiting reservoir, with no danger of thei being circumscribed in future, leveeing is the fitting course to be pursued. and_any further consideration of the subject would be uynecessary. It may, however, with great justice be apprehended that alarge and not uninfluential party will insist upon having the low lands now so useful as a reservoir reclaimed; m which case it behooves all interested in Sacramento to devise or adept measures beat calculated to meet auch alt-red ciéumstances, and prevent what otherwise might be productive of disastrous results. _— DICKINSON ON THE UNiON.—Hon. Daniel 8. Dickinson has been jecturing o the Union. We extract a few portions gt his discourse to show where the minds of old Democrats are directed: We trast good Democraté will . ere and choose the course that they design to follow. Dickinson was the choice of a large minority of the Democrats of this State for President instead of Buchanan. It would have been a happy circumstance if he had instead of the weak:kneed Buchanan. Dickinson speaks of slavery in this wise : We are playing at stakes with the cause of liberty at the hazard. The masses of the Southern people are yet loyal, and would return to their allegiance except for an armed moo directed by conspiracy. They will now yield only tu forve, and we are now bound to ut forward our whole power and strike our oe where it 1s weakest. We can strike between the points of the harness. We should, confiscate the property of rebela totally, absolutely and im:nes p+ take-every one of their slaves, and let Congress make some disposition of them—erush the redellion by any and every weans known by Christianity. There can be no compromise with rebellion. If we compromise once we shall soon have no Government tv compromise. nossa ance A Move in THE RIGHT Direcriox.— Senator Kutz has introduced the following important resolution which has been refered to the Committee on Federal Relations It apeaks for itaelf : Resolved, by the Senate, the House coneuring, that our Senaters be and they are hereby instructed, and our Representatives in Congress requested to use their influence te have the Oveiland mail service so changed that from Carson City, Nevada Territory, so much of the Eastern mail as is destined for Califwrnia, shall be conveyed across the Sierra Nevada mountains by three routes : the Henness, the Placerville and the Big Tree routes, as the termini of said routes, and as distributing offices for Northern, Central and Southern California. with provisions for way deliveries at the principal towns lying on or contiguous to such routes, between Carsen City and their termini in California—say at Dewnieville, Forest City, North San Juan, Nevada and Grass Valley, on thedienness Pass route; at Placerville, Diamond Springs, El Dorado and Folsom, on the Placerville route ; and Sonora, Columbia und Mokelumne Hill, on the Big Tree route ; such a division of the Overland mail service promote the convenience of the extremes of the State, likely te stimulate settlements along the impertant transmontane Inghways enumerated, and to lessen the diffieaity and uncertainty of winter transportation of -the Tue London Post says that previous to the closing ef the coffin containing the remains of Prince Albert, a wreath of flowers made by the Princess Alice was put over the corpse, and a miniature of Her Majesty placed in bis hand.
